Answer:

The final depth of Melissa is 14 meters below the surface

Step-by-step explanation:

In this kind of problems, involving directions, etc, usually one position is the positive direction and the other position is the negative direction.

In our problem, we suppose that the surface is the positivo zero, above the surface is the positive position(positive depth) and below the surface is the negative directions(negative depth).

The problem states that Melissa is 29 meters below the surface. So, her initial position is 29 meters in the negative direction, so it is equal to -29.

Then, the problem states that Melissa rises upward 15 meters. Upward is the positive direction, so she moved to the positive direction. It means that we are going to do -29+15 = -14 meters.

It means that the final depth of Melissa is 14 meters below the surface

slega [8]

Answer:

a) After adding the 0 test score, the mean would be the most appropriate measure of center to describe the data-------> is true

b) After adding the 0 test score, the mean would be affected-----> is true

c) After adding the 0 test score, the median would be the most appropriate measure of center to describe the data-----> is false

d) Before the missed test, Eva’s median score was 96-----> is false

e) Before the missed test, Eva’s median score was 91------ is true

f) Before the missed test, Eva’s mean score was 91.8-----> is true

A square dartboard contains a red square and a blue square that overlap. A dart hits a random point on the board.

They want to know the probability of landing in the blue and red section at the same time. In other words, they want to know the probability of landing in the purple section.

We'll need the area of the purple square. This square is 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches. This is because 4 - 2.5 = 1.5

So the purple square has an area of 1.5*1.5 = 2.25 square inches

Divide this over the total area of the largest square (which is 9x9) to get 2.25/81 = 0.02777... where the 7's go on forever

Round that to two decimal places. The final answer is 0.03

Side note: 2.25/81 is equivalent to the reduced fraction 1/36 (express 2.25/81 as 225/8100 and then divide both parts by the GCF 225)

2x + 8y = 5<br> 24x – 4y = –15

slega [8]

2x + 8y = 5

2/ 24x - 4y = -15

2x + 8y = 5

48x - 8x = -30

--------------------------

50x = -25

x = -1/2

2 * -1/2 + 8y = 5

-1 + 8y = 5

8y = 6

y = 6/8

y = 3/4

x = -1/2 y = 3/4
